Is anyone else out there irritated by how Republicans have continued to call us the "Democrat" Party

It makes me angry that such obvious disrespect is allowed during interviews without being corrected. I know we've come up with various counter-logisms such as "Repubs" and "Rethugs" etc, but I'd like to suggest something more subtle to get their goat. From now on I'm referring to the GOP as the "Republic Party." Join me and let's watch heads explode if it starts to be used by Democrats every time they give interviews.

7. i remember a time when this was the most annoying thing they did.

sure, it's petty and obnoxious. but now they're handing the country over to russia, trafficking in electronic contraband, catapulting propaganda, overtly stirring up bigotry and violent sentiment, etc.

15. No, they didn't lay low. They attacked him over and over for "giving away" the Panama Canal, the

fall of the Shah of Iran and the capture of the American embassy there, the failure of the Iran hostage rescue mission, his attempts to encourage energy efficiency and conservation, and because his diplomatic efforts made the U.S. look weak in the eyes of Republics.

22. ugh, thanks for the refresher.

i had thought it was all really just during his last year, i guess starting with the embassy takeover, but you're right, they did attack him over energy policy.

now that i think about it, they also blamed him the whole time for the inflation that was ignited during the nixon/ford era (that ford ineptly pretended to fight with "whip inflation now" buttons). carter still doesn't get credit for solving that problem by appointing volcker to the fed and going along with the startling hikes in interest rates.

anyway, ok, so i overstated my point. i maintain that them using "democrat" where "democratic" is appropriate is not the most important battle we face....

23. Glad to be of service.

My right wing parents were recipients of tons of mass mailings for donations using Carter as the reason to donate to the GOP. It was the beginning of a tactic the GOP is still using, sensationalizing completely false slander against the sitting president of the US.

17. I immediately ignore anyone who uses the term.

18. Have a good story on this

Last week Betsy Woodruff of Daily Beast was on MSNBC. She used "Democrat party" several times in her remarks. I emailed her about this insult and she got back to me personally, within a few minutes, and apologized. She vowed to be more careful in the future. Surprisingly good response.
